Description
SPRINGER Vocus A Visual Attention System For Object Detection And Goal-Directed Search 2006 Edition by FRINTROP, SIMONE
This monograph presents a complete computational system for visual attention and object detection. VOCUS (Visual Object detection with a Computational attention System) represents a major step forward on integrating data-driven and model-driven information into a single framework. Additionally, the volume contains an extensive review of the literature on visual attention, detailed evaluations of VOCUS in different settings, and applications of the system. 1 Introduction.- 2 Background on Visual Attention.- 3 State of the Art of Computational Attention Systems.- 4 The Visual Attention System VOCUS: Bottom-Up Part.- 5 The Visual Attention System VOCUS: Top-Down Extension.- 6 Sensor Fusion.- 7 Attentive Classification.- 8 Conclusion.- A Basics of Computer Vision.- B The Viola-Jones Classifier.- C Explanation of Color Figures.
